Temple Grandin is a problem for #autistic people.
Her
"Stimming is fine as long as it's done at the right time and place."
and
"Autistics today don't find jobs because they haven't been drilled with proper manners like in the 50s."
kind of bullshit is SO harmful.
#sigh
Look, you can choose to be an idealist or a realist but not both. Ideally, the world will cater to all of us on the spectrum. Realistically, it doesn't and never will. You can either work with or against the societal grain, but I know quite well which direction works.

@TempleGrandin is not a problem for any autistics but those who steadfastly refuse to learn coping skills and react to the concept of "integration" like you asked them to eat a pie made of mud. -
At the end of the day you can adhere to your ideals that the world should cater to each's personal autism spectrogram, but that and a buck will get you a cup of coffee. As someone on the autism spectrum you have an unparalleled ability to learn. So learn sense, not helplessness.
